	I made another attempt to look for this patent at http://www.epo.org/
and http://www.wipo.int/pctdb/en/index.jsp but failed here also. Any
ideas where to find this patent?
	There is one more strangeness, looking at their schematic drawings, it
looks like this patent application is not finished yet. Maybe they have
not applied it yet?
	Another fact is that they are decided to distribute their software for
free:
